No, I am dead serious. Diff compares text files, if your text encoding
has various encodings for the same thing it needs to deal with that.
Please explain Unicode composing differences for the Unicode
ignoramuses among us. Is this some kind of overstriking
convention used to build complex glyphs, where you can permute
the code order and achieve the same glyph. Or what?
